1) Picking the first proper picking of raspberries on the allotment today.

2) Also picking a big bunch of Sweet Williams, He Who Knows always grows me a whole row of them, they're my favourite floweer.

3) It's NOT raining and my lawn is GREEN again!

4) No cooking today needed, cooked chicken yesterday so will have cold chicken and salad for supper.

5) Met an old friend on the bus home from town this morning and caught up on all her news, lovely!

Ah the wanders of the internet. Eyes all seeing and contracting all beings.


5 No, there appears to be a problem in the local cop shop with beards. There is no problem. I am made of hair so there! Rubs Chin!


4 Had BoPsie double poached egg snorker fest for breakfast, with bacon and baked beans. Toast and tea. Rubs Tum!


3 Helped BoPsie to fix her treadder as she had the slowest puncture BoP has seen for a while. No more bubbles and fixed. Rubs Hands.


2 Night BoP is off to cull the badger, and a couple of wobbleades as well. Should be hairy as BoPsie will be on bike. Rubs Beard.


If I could only get people to rub my belly for good lucky and then throw money in my fountain, it'd be a perfect world.

Pleasures for Saturday

1. found some almond milk on offer for DS at £1 each so I popped out early to the supermarket & managed to get 20. He uses one a day usually £1.59 - £1.79 each depending on where you get it from so a big saving for him. He only had 4 left from the last ones I got on offer

2. mcD's drive through on way home and picked up a breakfast wrap ... naughty but nice

3. got 3 loads of washing done and line dried. Managed to iron all the bits that needed ironing too

4. nice walk in the sun around the local pond.

5. managed to do some gardening and it looks a lot tidier now. Still have a few bits to chop back but they will have to wait. Its forecast pouring rain again for tomorrow

6. have found a desk advertised locally for £15 and am hoping to go and see it tomorrow. If its suitable will get it for DS to do his coursework

7. homemade chicken curry for tea nom nom

Rainy-Days

Been a while since I posted on thi thread but the five today are really easy and simple.

1. Washed, cleaned and waxed the car today and it looks fab.

2. Had a wonderful shower and pamper five minutes

3. Sat in conservatory with a cup of tea and a nice piece of chocolate cake

4. It rained just right after I got back from a walk with the dog and the water all beaded on the car - good job done

5. Watching Back to The Future II on TV - the old ones are the best :T absolute classic

ampersand

Another day of sodden feet and ankle-deep sloshing to and from &obile. Village roads awash. Kerbs disappeared.

1. £2.78 and 7p Off Your Next Shop tillspits, abandoned in Mr T trolley yesterday, happily used today with 134 pts wombled and welcome. Young N again sorted &mob., mucked up top-up in Dover store recredited. He has gained a 1st, with invitation to do Master's gratis, at Imperial!

2, A real surprise -
http://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/nov/03/memoir-ken-livingstone-review
Saw this in £land just before I went to France. Took it, if only to contribute to LP bookshelves in Cambridge, but find self much engaged with a natural writer's page-turner. The tough stuff of straitened family life in sarf-of-the-river London, including grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, through the total loving marriage and ambitious working partnership of his strictly, proudly, Tory parents is exemplary. Ken physically was a boy underweight, small for age, often ill. His debt to several teachers is unstinted as is his scathing self-criticism. I'm glad to be getting back to it shortly and can only reiterate how surprised I am to be writing thus.
First met him in 1984 [Thames Barrier inauguration with Queen]...another life.

3. I now see where Monsieur Grenouille lives @ &squat. I say Bonjour and check him when I go to freezer in no.1 shed. Eyes peep out just above waterline of a redundant plant container behind waterbutt no. 1. I've had his line and toads since arriving here over 10 years ago. V. pleasing.

4. 9 jars of spiced vicarage plum jam with walnuts done. Tastes good, sharp-ish, cinnamon hints, wobbles beautifully. It's come out the lovely jewel-bright colour of cranberry glass.

5. 2 mega-seedy h-m loaves on 2nd rise. Shall bung them in oven in about 10 mins and let you smell gorgeousness as they bake. Kneading is good for venerable hands and knuckles and therapeutic, cathartic, in itself, done while gazing out back.

6. Real daredevil stuff. 2 little planes whooping high, high, high in sky then cutting out, teetering and spiralling down with coloured smoke[bleu/blanc/rouge] against setting sun, which finally showed up, far too late in day to count.

Andy Burnham meeting demain. A chance to make up own mind. No-one of Head of State stature evident to & so far.

Honey ice-cream....where's ours?

Sounds like you have had a busy cooking day Ampersand.
It’s nice to post here and find pleasures
1. You could blow me over with a feather – yeah I wish, but the gas and electric bill was not a shocker.:cool:
2. Did a bit more research into going it alone and wrote bit more info to try and drag some web content together.
3. Lazy getting up, we went to the next town, the CS’s were forthcoming a lot of books all 50p some Dean Koontz and Terry Pratchet I wanted to try. Some animal bits and bobs as toys. Poundland yet more chicken and duck treats for pets and some wispa biscuits, over to fruit and veg market stall for banter and 2 bags overflowing for a fiver. Had to go back to the car as it was far too heavy.:o:o
4. Stopped in at the caf! for a roast dinner with tea for a fiver each and it was lovely and needed by then, we also stopped in at Homebase on the way back and picked up a set of hanging basket plants reduced kicked myself for only picking up one set.:p
5. DH has decided he wants a country garden look in the front garden needless to say I’m happy, he’s talking about getting a long planter in the shape of a “locomotive”.:rotfl:
6. The buddleia covered in butterflies made some beautiful photo’s.:)
